I don't understand peoples judging of kits, half the time it's practically the exact same design yet one season its supposedly w*** then the tiniest adjustment the following season and it's the best in the world.

Also most of all the fashionistas critiquing them, end of the day most of you are out wearing them with your kappa tracksuit bottoms or joggers.

Apparently we are very close to naming the new sponsor, so it's definitely bye bye Wonga. Not that we were too scared of this happening but the stadium will remain without any sponsor.
I may be Scottish but I bleed Black and White Stripes, no seriously, am pretty worried!

Maybe the lack of ideas to change it is the problem. Maybe it's the actual evidence that they make 80% pathetic kits. As for the tracksuit comment, don't be judging everyone with your standards. I'm neither polish nor do I lift heavy things and put them back down in the same place so no joggers from me. <wave>

From next season PL clubs will be able to sell sponsorship rights to their shirt sleeves as well as on the front of the kit as usual.

I suppose extra revenue can only be a good thing but I always associate extra sponsorship on kits with the poorer leagues around Europe. Things could get tacky fast.

Another reason for me not to buy new shirts then. The quality is bad enough for what they cost, let alone paying a premium to become a walking advert.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Don't disagree with how it looks, although even the Spanish and French leagues have been doing it for ages now, so I think it's becoming less to do with the poorer leagues, and just standard revenue-maximization practice.

They might sell them without the sleeve sponsor as I have the Home Marseilles shirt and it doesn't have them. I agree the risk of it looking tacky is high, some of the french shirts are flat out shocking!

It's been no secret for such a long time that Wonga's relationship with Newcastle was ending this season.

The pay day lenders world having been turned upside down since their association with us with the rules changed not to mention they cant advertise their logo on the kids strips anymore.

This has led to speculation as to who the new name is going to be.

The recent fan forum at Newcastle saw the subject crop up again with club officials revealing a few extra snippets that the media have picked up on and turned into gospel but I see a different angle to them.

Whilst the media are reporting that we're going to see a deal that pits us directly against the top teams in the country, I fail to see where that info has come from because I decipher it differently from them if they've got their opinion from the fans forum words.

The words from the forum were: The club highlighted that being in the Premier League creates the best possible platform for a good commercial performance, but that nevertheless the club continued to perform solidly in this regards, with new avenues for revenue being continually explored.

The club stated that its potential shirt deal benchmarks very favourably against comparable clubs in the Premier League.

We have to remember that the people in charge here have continually played down our expectations as to the size of the club and it's seen the likes of Alan Pardew and similar cronies stating that we have unrealistic expectations as to the size of us with us once being seen as rivals to the likes of Liverpool and Spurs, at the last mention we had ambitions as a club to be on a par with the Southamptons and West Broms of the world.

This reference to have a sponsorship that compares favourably to the clubs idea of clubs on our level beggars belief in comparison to the top clubs.

The price we got from Wonga hasn't really been revealed but stories over the years and a quick trawl of google has the income at between £6m and £8m a season.

As said above, depending on which clubs Newcastle sees as comparable to will determine the sponsor and with all teams up to 13th in this year's premier league on deals up to £3m a year, that doesn't leave much of a favourable deal in my eyes unless the club rates us higher.

Southampton, Everton and West Ham have deals of around £6m a season with Sunderland also on this figure.

Above this are the likes of Spurs on a £16m a year deal before the big clubs kick in with their deals ranging from £20m to Man Utd's £50m a year.

Part of me thinks we could get a major Spanish bank's logo on our strips next season if we're promoted but I also wouldn't be surprised to see a certain sports shop's name ruining the front of the kit. Just dont think the deal will be what it's being made out to be.

I think we'll have a betting company/beer logo on the front (literally a hunch no source) and sports direct on the sleeve (hunch again)

Mike snapped up a company on the cheap last week. Maybe they'll be our new sponsors?

I always thought the sponsorships on the back of football shirts looked pretty cool. <awe>

That's gorgeous. Imagine that with a black centre stripe, then two whites either side then black side panels.
